Ji   WORD  TO  TOURISTS. 


Af  tbe  «emsoii  approaches  when  pleasure  seekers  and  invalids  endeavor  to  es- 
cape from  the  parched  and  dusty  streets  of  cities  to  seek  the  invigorating  >reath 
of  tbe  sea  breece,  they  naturally  ask  the  question,  where  shall  we  go  ?  To 
which  we  would  answer,  Go  to  that  Paradise  of  Travellers, 

THE  SAQUENAY. 

To  reach  the  Saguenay,  it  is  necessary  first  to  reach  Quebec,  where,  any  day, 
except  Sunday,  the  tourist  can  take  a  passage  in  one  of  the  first-class  boats 
named  in  the  adjoining  sheot. 

HOW  TO  REACH  QUEET:0. 

Travellers  fi-om  Southern  and  South-Western  States,  coming  through  New 
York,  will,  at  that  point,  have  a  choice  of  routes.  All  roads  connecting  with  the 
Grand  Trunk  Railway  of  Canada,  lead  to  Quebec.  The  Hudson  River,  Lakes 
George  and  Champlain  to  Rouse's  Point,  thence  by  rail  to  Montreal,  is  a  pleas- 
ant route.  But  the  shortest  and  most  direct  is  that  via  Passumpsic  R.  R.  Run- 
ning through  the  Connecticut  and  Passumpsic  River  Valleys,  in  sight  of  the 
White  Mountains,  affording  an  opportunity  of  visiting  Newport  and  seeing  the 
charming  Lake  Memphremagog,  connecting  at  Sherbrooke  with  the  Grand 
Trunk  R.  R.,  and  thence  to  Quebec  or  Montreal  in  five  hours. 

FROM  BOSTON  and  vicinity :  Either  by  Montreal  and  Boston  Air  Line,  or 
Central  Vermont  R.  R.  Both  lines  run  two  Express  Trains,  daily,  from  the 
Lowell  R.  R.  Depot  through  to  Montreal;  thence  by  Richelieu  Company's 
Steamers  or  Grand  Trunk  R.  R.  to  Quebec.  Or,  from  Boston  via  Concord, 
Wells  River  and  Sherbrooke,  continuing  by  Grand  Trunk  R.  R.  to  Quebec. 
From  points  east  of  Boston,  take  the  Grand  Trunk  R.  R.  and  connections  direct 
to  Quebec. 

\.  From  the  Western  and  North-western  States  tourists  can  proceed  from  Chi- 
cago either  by  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  direct  to  Montreal,  or  by  the  Lakes  to 
Niagara  Falls  and  Lewiston.  T!  encc  by  Richelieu  and  Ontario  Naviga- 
tion Company's  Steamers  to  Hamilton,  Toronto  and  Kingston  (descending  the 
Rapids  of  the  St.  Lawrence  by  daylight),  and  on  to  Montreal  and  Quebec,  con* 
necting  with  the  Steami^rs  of  the  St.  Lawrence  Steam  Navigation  Co.,  at 
the  last  named  city. 

TH:E  ST.  LJ^'WIS/ElTOEl. 

Whatever  may  he  said  of  the  other  great  rivers  of  the  world,  all  travellers 
agree,  that  for  grandeur  and  majesty  none  can  approach  the  St.  Lawrence.  Why, 
it  is  a  world  in  itself  '  Including  the  Lakes  which  naturally  belong  to  this  river, 
it  poMesses  a  coast  line  of  over  six  thousand  miles;  the  Cities,  Towns  and  Vii« 
lages,  upon  whose  borders  are  counted  by  hundreds,  and  the  vessels  of  all  claascs 
navigating  its  waters,  by  thousands.  In  contemplating  the  inland  seas  which 
feed  it,  the  senses  are  bewildered  at  their  immensity.  In  Niagara  is  exhibited 
the  terrific  and  sublime  to  an  extent  not  to  be  found  elsewhere.  The  same  water 
which  leaps  over  the  cataract,  after  reposing  in  Ontario's  basin,  glides  past 


71T 


King«ton  and  through  the  *'  Thousand  Inlands,"  and  once  again  becomes  turbu- 
lent in  "  The  Rapids."  In  these,  while  dashing  headlong  forward,  the  imagina. 
tion  nnay  make  a  faint  attempt  at  estimating  the  strength  and  velocity  of  the  cur* 
rent,  as,  shooting  past  an  island,  or  a  villajre,  the  eye  has  Just  time  to  see  it  ap- 
proaching ahead,  and  to  catch  a  last  view  of  it  astern,  revealing  another  feature 
of  thin  noble  river.  The  Lakes,  the  Thousand  Islands,  and  the  Rapids  being 
passed,  the  mind  is  allowed  to  contemplate  the  calm  and  the  peaceful,  as  the 
placid  waters  flow  past  the  many  villages  and  towns  between  Montreal  and  Que* 
bee,  unbroken  by  rapid  or  other  impediment. 

Grand  and  interesting  though  all  those  scenes  may  be,  they  are  as  nothing 
compared  to  what  lies  before  the  tourist  going  further  down.    And  to  SEE  the 
St.  Lawrence,  one  must  go  below  Quebec. 
The  traveller  bound  for  the  Sa|?uenay  and  the  Lower  St.  Lawrence,  will  have 
I  many  objects  of  interest  to  note ;  among  them,  the  first  will  be  a  view  of  Quebec 

and  harbor,  from  the  promenade  deck,  just  after  leaving  the  wharf.  The  view 
which  now  greets  the  eye  is  not  surpassed  anywhere.  The  harbor  of  Quebec 
has  been  likened  to  the  celebrated  Bay  of  Naples,  and  by  many  is  said  to  sur- 
pass it  in  beauty.  Surrounding  this  magnificent  basin  are  Cape  Diamond,  with 
its  citadel  and  frowning  battlements;  the  city  with  its  shining  spires  and  domes, 
circled  and  guarded  by  its  ramparts  and  bristling  batteries.  To  the  south,  the 
undulating  hills  of  Levis  rise  in  terraces,  crowned  by  a  rising  town,  and  stretch- 
ing away  for  miles  toward  the  borders  of  Maine.  To  the  north,  the  fertile  plains 
of  Beauport,  in  the  foreground,  dotted  with  villages  set  iti  a  frame-work  of 
mountains,  piled  range  upon  range,  until  lost  in  the  distance,  they  mingle  with 
the  sky.  On  the  same  shore  the  unique  Falls  of  MONTMOBENcr  charm  the 
beholder.  Across  the  harbor,  facing  the  falls,  may  be  seen  one  of  the  Forts  on 
the  highest  point  in  that  direction.    Between,  lies  the 

ISLE    OF    ORLEANS. 

This  Island  is  about  twenty  miles  long,  and  from  half  a  mile  to  five  miles  wide. 
It  rises  to  a  conf>iderable  elevation ;  at  the  end  nrarest  Quebec,  the  high  laud  is 
fully  860  feet  above  the  water  level.  On  it  are  six  Catholic  Churches  and  one 
Protestant,  the  latter  being  for  the  accommodation  of  visitors  in  summer.  The 
total  population  of  the  island  is  between  6,000  and  7,000. 


is  well  seen  as  soon  as  the  Isle  of  Orleans  has  been  passed.

It  lies  on  the  North 


GROSSE  ISLE 

is  now  in  view,  ar  4  claims  a  passing  notice  as  being  the  Quarantine  Station  for 
Quebec,  and  the  last  i  esting  place  of  many  a  poor  emigrant  who  never  succeed- 
ed in  getting  past  it.  In  one  grave  lie  buried  7,0(10  victims  of  the  "  Ship  Fever  " 
of  1847,  and  almost  as  many  were  claimed  by  the  cholera  of  l'i49. 

Many  islands  are  now  passed,  remarkable  chiefly  for  their  fertility  and  the 
great  quantity  of  game  which  flocks  to  them  in  the  season. 

Bay  St.  Paul,  to  the  North,  guarded  by  the 


ISLE-AUX-COITDHES, 

^Hazel  Island),  ia  remarkable  for  its  rich  iron  mines.  While  the  boat  glides 
past  those  beautiful  islands— some  near  by,  some  miles  away— they  serve  to  as- 
sist the  mind  in  realizing  the  majestic  proportions  of  the  noble  St.  Lawrence, 
which  now  may  be  seen  in  all  its  attractiveness.  But  the  grandest  feature  of  all 
mu*t  not  be  omitted.  From  Cape  Tourment  to  Murray  Bay,  a  distance  of  over 
fifty  miles,  the  left  bank  of  the  river  presents  one  continuous  panorama  of  the 
WILDEST  SCENERY  on  this  continent,  only  surpassed  by  the  Bagucnay.  In  fact 
it  may  be  compared  to  Switzerland  and  the  Rhine  combined,  only  that  it  is  as 
much  grander  as  the  mighty  St.  Lawrence  is  greater  than  that  romantic  stream. 
Having  feasted  the  senses  for  hours, 

M'^mmATT   MATT 

next  claims  attention.  This  is  a  favorite  Summer  resort;  a  primitive  settlement 
resting  amongst  bills  and  mountains,  possessing  good  sea  bathing,  and  affording 
sport  to  the  angler  or  rifleman.  Here  also  is  a  valuable  Mineral  Spring,  whose 
waters  are  highly  recommended  to  invalids.  There  are  some  five  or  six  good 
hotels  in  this  place.  What  a  contrast  to  the  crowded  watering  places  of  the 
Fashionable  World ;  here  one  can  enjoy  nature  at  her  best,  completely  severed 
from  the  cares  and  turmoil  of  business. 

THE  PILGRIM  ISLANDS, 

some  ten  miles  below  Murray  Bay,  consist  of  a  remarkable  group  of  rocks, 
which,  from  their  height,  are  visible  at  a  great  distance.  These  islands,  in  sum- 
mer scarcely  ever  present  to  the  beholder  the  same  shape  for  an  hour  at  a  time; 
that  beautiful  phenomenon,  *'  The  Mirage,"  seeming  constantly  to  dwell  about 
them .  This  may  be  due  to  refraction  of  the  sun's  rays,  owing  to  the  rocks  being 
sparsely  covered  with  vegetation. 

RIVIERE-DU.L.OUP 

is  the  next  stopping  place,  and  here  connection  is  made  with  the 

INTEUCOLONIAL.     11A.IIL.WAY. 

Tourists  to  or  from  the  Atlantic  States  or  Provinces,  via  Halifax  or  St.  John, 
take  or  leave  the  boat  here,  as  the  case  may  be. 

RiviERE-DuLoup  is  one  of  the/avorite  Summer  resorts,  and  whilst  probably 
not  as  thronged  as  Cacouna,  is  frequented  by  many  of  the  best  families  of  both 
Montreal  and  Quebec.  The  site  of  the  town  of  Fraserville  (the  name  under 
which  it  is  incotporated),  is  very  beautiful ;  on  a  level  plateau,  at  a  considerable 
elevation,  it  commands  a  most  extended  view  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  and  the  dis 
tant  Laurentlan  Mountains.  The  Lover  of  Nature  will  ei^Joy  the  beautiful  eflfect 
of  a  June  or  July  sunset,  as  seen  from  here — when  the  sea-like  river  lies  calmly 
at  his  feet,  reflecting  the  distant  azure  mountains,  Just  tip't  with  a  golden  glory. 

'*  Cold  must  the  heart  be,  and  void  of  emotion," 
that  would  not  melt  under  the  influence  of  such  a  sight. 

There  are  two  very  fine  waterfalls  at  Rivlere<da.Loup.    The  upper  one  can 
only  be  seen  from  the  point  of  a  rock  Jutting  over  it,  on  which  not  more  than  two 


or  three  persons  cai  venture  at  a  time.  The  other,  to  be  seen  to  advantage, 
■h  >uld  be  viewed  from  the  slJe  of  the  river  furthest  from  the  village.  The  hotel 
accommodation  is  all  that  could  be  desired.  La  Kochelle*S  is  not  surpassed  for 
comfort  and  cleanliness  anywhere. 


lies  on  the  banks  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  about  seven  miles  from  Rivler«-d  i-Loup, 
and  is  the  most  popular  of  all  the  Canadian  watering  places.  Its  bou.  es  are 
comfortable,  roads  good,  sidewalks  broad  and  clean.  Cabs  and  omnibuaus  are 
';lways  on  hr.nd  on  the  arrival  of  the  boat,  to  convey  passengers. 

the  Urgest  hotel  below  Quebec,  can  accommodate  upwards  of  400  guests,  and 
offers  all  the  comforts  of  a  Arstclass  hotel.  Mr.  James  Creighton,  long  and 
favorably  knovn  in  connection  with  the  St.  Louis  Hotel,  Quebec,  is  the  present 
lessee 

Leaving  Riviere  du-Loup  wharf,  the  boat  now  turns  her  prow  due  North  and 
steams  for 

THE  PAR-FAMED  SAGUENAY, 

the  "Mecca"  of  all  tourists.  What  sensations  come  crowding  on  the  traveller  as 
he  feels  that  he  is  approaching  that  mysterious  river !  A  run  of  twenty  miles 
brings  the  boat  to 


where  the  great  river  loses  itself  In  the  greater. 

This  watering  plactthas  been  selected  by  Lord  Dufferln,  Governor-General  of 
Canada,  for  a  summer  retreat,  and  he  has  here  erected  a  splendid  residence. 
Here,  also,  is  situated  one  of  the  Governm-nt  fish  breeding  establishments, 
whence  millions  of  young  salmon  are  annually  distributed  to  stock  the  various 
rivers  of  the  Dominion.  But  the  scenery  surrounding  Tadousac !  What  words 
can  db  it  justice  ?  Mountain,  Flood  and  Forest  combine  to  make  up  one  harmo- 
nious whole,  grand  beyond  description. 

THE  TADOUSAO  HOTEL 

affords  every  accommodation  to  be  found  in  a  first-class  hotel,  and  the  wearied 
traveller  may  here  rest  him  or  herself  for  a  week  amidst  all  the  comforts  of  home. 

From  this  point  to  Chlcoutlmi,  a  distance  of  about  100  miles,  and  the  furthest 
place  to  which  the  boat  goes,  it  may  truthfully  be  said  that  not  an  inch  of  the 
way  lacks  in  interest.  At  every  turn  of  the  boat— at  every  revolution  of  the 
paddles— some  new  attraction  is  discovered ;  here  a  placid  bay,  there  a  foaming 
cascade,  tumbling  over  perpendicular  rocks,  a  quarter  of  a  mile  at  a  leap.  The 
sombre  waters  beneath,  a  thousand  feet  deep,  and  the  equally  sombre  mountains 
above,  towering  to  the  clouds,  all  have  their  fascinations. 

It  is  impossible  within  the  limits  of  this  short  description  to  even  name  the 
many  attractions  of  the  river,  but 


Capes  Eternity  and  Trinity 

claim  a  word.  Guarding  the  entrance  to  Eternity  Bay,  these  two  pronaontories 
riae  on  either  hand,  the  one  to  the  height  of  1,000  feet,  and  the  other  only  a  little 
leas.  And  if  the  Saguenay  poisessed  no  other  points  of  attraction,  no  traveller 
would  regret  having  come  to  see  them  alone. 

As  Ha!  Ha!  Bat  ia reached  and  the  boat  glides  across  its  land-locked  waters, 
one  thinkp  uf  boating,  swimming,  fishing,  and  a  dozen  inviting  pastimes  which 
here  might  be  indulged  in  if  time  but  permitted.  But  after  a  delay  of  a  few 
hours,  we  go  on  and  ^cend  the  Saguenay  farther  still — as  far  as 

CHICOUTIMI. 

Here  Waterfalls,  Lumber  Mills,  Trout  and  Salmon  fishing  are  the  attractions. 
We  have  reached  the  end  of  our  voyage,  however,  and  have  to  commence  the 
return.  We  go  over  again  all  the  glorious  scenes  which  we  had  before  enjoyed, 
and  endeavor  to  stamp  them  on  the  memory,  to  be  called  up  at  some  future  time,

The  traveller,  whose  time  will  permit  him,  ought,  on  his  return  from  the  Sag- 
uenay, to  take  a  rest  at  Quebec,  where,  any  time  which  he  may  have  to  spare, 
can  be  profitably  spent  in  seei  ig  the  many  objects  of  interest  which  abound  in 
and  around  the  city. 

The  Churches,  Picture  Galleries,  University  with  its  magnificent  Library,  the 
Citiidel,  the  timber  Coves  (where  millions  of  dollars  worth  of  timber  are  stored), 
the  Plains  of  Abraham,  the  old  French  Walls  crumbling  to  decay,  Mount  Her. 
mon  Cemftery,  and  Spencer  Wood. 

LAKES  AND  FALLS.  Within  a  radius  of  ten  miles  fi-om  the  city  are  found 
Lakes  Bealport,  St.  Charles  and  Oalvaire,  and  the  following  Waterfalls  : 
LORETTE,  Chaudiere,  La.  Puce,  and  Montmorency  with  its  natural  steps. 
About  ten  miles  from  Montmorency  are  the  Falls  of  St.  Ann. 

These  are  all  favorite  resorts,  and  the  drives  to  them  can  hardly  be  surpassed 
for  beauty,  whilst  they  are  replete  with  interest  for  the  Student  and  Tourist. 

HOTELS. 

The  St.  Louis  and  Russell  House,  both  kept  by  the  Messrs.  RusBelI,are  the 
principal  ones. 

The  Albion,  Henchet's  and  Blanchard's  are  likewise  good  and  popular 
house! .
